War against WaspsBThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers fromCalifornia report that the change is taking pla
24、ce in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide inthe atmosphere.The lowering of the waters PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat tocurrent ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from theLawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report
25、 their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it willeventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientistsbelieve that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic ov
26、er the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we knowabout the history of the oceans with computer models of climate changeThis level of acidity willget much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO into the atmosphere, sai
27、d Dr2Caldeira. And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over thelast several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean lifeMost organisms live near thesurfa
28、ce, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms maybe more sensitive to PH changesCoral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells containcalcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the waters acidity levels keep going up, the teampredict. They could fin
29、d it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in thedeep ocean as a way of dealing with global warmingBut Dr Caldeira said that such a strategyshould now be re-considered. Previously,
30、most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbondioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and22C. the higher level of CO in the air D. the increasing use of oil fuels232. According to Dr Caldeira,_ .A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good th

His back hurt somuch that he c
34、ould not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drovehim to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Gam
35、es in Berlin the next year, and hissuccess would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did notcongratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didntgo to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway.”Having returned from Berl
36、in, he received no telephone calls from the president of his owncountry, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before hisdeath.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him.

37、 to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living.
